More than 700 applicants attend 1st job fair

TUMON, Guam—More than a thousand residents have applied in-person and online for management and line staff positions posted by The Tsubaki Tower, Guam’s newest luxury resort in Tumon. The Tsubaki Tower, owned by PHR Ken Micronesia, Inc. and Premier Hotel Group, hosted its first of two pre-opening job fairs at the Hotel Nikko Guam on Sat., Nov. 16, as it prepares for its grand opening on April 25, 2020.

Applicants arrived early to secure their place in line a few hours before the doors opened. More than 700 residents attended the job fair and learned more about the resort’s concept, design and customer service standards during a 10-minute presentation before they filled out applications and met with managers of each of the resort’s departments. Applicants were treated to a virtual tour of the resort’s room categories, food and beverage outlets, wedding services, and amenities.

“We were very excited to share the Tsubaki concept with more than 700 attendees during our first job fair. As we prepare for our April 25 grand opening, we are looking for a strong team that can help us deliver a high level of service and authentic Guam experiences that our guests will expect,” said Ken Yanagisawa, The Tsubaki Tower general manager. “We are proud to be able to provide 340 new jobs for Guam and thank everyone who attended the job fair and applied online.”

The Tsubaki Tower aims to fill 340 positions before its grand opening to provide a service standard that meets the needs of the 340 all-oceanfront rooms and suites hotel. The Tsubaki Tower announced in October that online room reservations were open for the April 25 grand opening weekend and beyond.

More than a thousand applications were received for management and line staff positions for all hotel departments—Rooms, Food and Beverage (two restaurants, three bars, a lobby lounge, deli, takeout cafe, 24-hour in-room dining, banquets, and catering), Administration, Human Resources, Sales, Engineering, Accounting, and Facilities. Interested applicants can request and submit applications online by sending an e-mail to HR@thetsubakitower.com. The Tsubaki Tower will be hosting a second job fair before its grand opening.
